Pros

- Was a good team experience. Other engineers were at the top of the game, learnt a lot from them - Was able to learn about Google Addon ecosystem

Cons

The management of the company was NOT what is required for a startup, they grew too fast and wasted a lot of funding in growing the team when the product itself was not profitable

Pros

- Fast-moving early-stage company, very interesting time to join - Diverse tasks & learnings - Very open communication about personal ideas and thoughts - Great open culture and atmosphere - Amazing mix of nationalities and diversity within the team - Excellent working environment and motivation (+ super nice office)

Cons

As always in the very early-stages of a company’s development, some things still need to be improved. There is usually too many things to do at the same time. Everyone needs to be on top of their tasks and priorities to assure continuous development and improvements.
